Class Continuity Preparation

Office of Online Learning

Working, Teaching, and Taking Courses Remotely

In the event face-to-face instruction is interrupted due to illness, isolation or
restricted access to campus, the Office of Online Learning understands that many faculty
need information on how to transition your face-to-face courses to online formats
and many students need support in transitioning to taking online courses. With preparation
and planning, disruptions in course activity can be minimized and continuity in teaching
and learning ensured.

By utilizing the following resources, you can successfully complete your courses without
interruption if they are transitioned to an online format.

On Campus Computer Lab Access

Please note that Student Tech Fee Computer Lab in Fayard Hall will be continue to
remain open for student use. The hours are Monday-Thursday 7:30 AM - 5:00 PM.

The lab will only make a limited number of computers available to allow for the appropriate
spacing per the social distancing guidelines. No more than ten students will be allowed
to use the lab at one time.

Be Prepared

In preparation, you should make sure you have tested your access to the following
equipment:

A desktop or laptop computer, smartphone, or tablet.

Headset with a microphone.

Webcam – a camera may already be built into your computer, but you can also use an
external USB camera for video conferencing. Your instructor may use Google Meet for
web conferencing. Google Meet recommends these webcams through Logitech:Webcams. However, most webcams will work with Google Meet.

Internet – either connected to a wireless network commercially provided in your off-campus
apartment or home, or a wireless hotspot through your mobile phone. You may also gain
Wifi access at certain establishments, such as libraries and coffee shops.

Be prepared! It’s best to know these options will work for you before you actually
need them. Test access to your equipment and resources before the need arises.

Monitor University Updates

Southeastern's website provides continuous, up-to-date information on the status of
university operations. Also, be sure to register for emergency alert text messages
and voice calls.

Stay in Communication

It is important that you stay in communication with your teachers and are able to
receive communications from the university. All official communication regarding the
university and regarding online classes will be done through Webmail. Make sure your
Webmail account is set up and active. You might also want to follow Southeastern on
Social Media for up to date announcements. You should check your university Webmail
a minimum on once a day and preferably multiple times if possible.

Meeting Online

Google Meet is a simple platform designed to run an online meeting with minimal effort.
Using only your web browser or a mobile device, meeting participants can share audio,
video, and screens with colleagues and guests. Some of your faculty may have you attend
lectures online, host virtual office hours, or have you do class presentations online.
This will be done through a Google Meet link which would be set up in your Moodle
Course.
